It could go either way, you would think that they wouldn't be so evil but then again this is the same Nintendo that put region locks on e-reader cards. There is no way of knowing for sure till they come out, but they have chips in them so it's entirely possible for them to do it in some form.

I think I have become so cynical. These smack of cheekiness to me. They do nothing that a save file couldn't do, apart from be on display. Nintendo do not release games that people want on a regular basis but expect you to buy more of these than actual games. It would be better if they have a Disney Infinity like title with unlockable levels etc than how they are going to use these. It's all a bit underwhelming.

I wouldn't dismiss the idea before it's even out. It's smart to release them step-by-step, first with Smash Bros. It gives people time to get some before the inevitable Amiibo-only game they'll no doubt have in mind.
So think it like this: they're cool little Nintendo figurines to put on display WITH the added bonus of giving people extra content for their games. What's not to like? (well apart from yet another sink hole for money)Last edited by Guts; 04-09-2014, 15:27.

I could picture myself getting one or two. I'm not so keen on the use of flimsy clear sticks to prop up thin models that could easily have been better and more securely designed. Like Skylanders and Infinity, the harsh lesson is resisting completing the collection as likely only a small few will be used across releases or even heavily in them. Mario and Yoshi are safe bets and look good, can't imagine any scenario where I'd want to look at let alone pay for Wii Fitness trainer

First edition Wii Fitness Trainer in the original box will be a ?5,000 future collector's item because no one wants to buy her. Mark my words.Last edited by Guts; 04-09-2014, 18:16.

And I doubt you can get any official game figures of decent quality for ?3 anywhere.
